To rent
When does the rental start?
During March 2023 you will be able to register your interest and preferences on our website which will provide all the detailed information to help you choose your new home at AMST from details on floor plans with measurements to layout and rental prices. You will receive automatically a request by our newsletter to make your final preferred apartments known before the final renting out starts. This is only possible in case you created your own online account on this website. After you uploaded the requested documents, assignment of the apartments can take place.
What is the difference between free sector apartments and mid-rent apartments?
The difference between free sector apartments and mid-rent apartments is mainly in the rent. A free sector rental apartment has a rental price that is tailored to what the market prices are. In principle, this rent has no maximum. Income ultimately determines what type of apartment you qualify for.
The rents of a medium-term rental apartment are regulated and independent of market prices. The rental price of a medium-term rental apartment is a minimum of € 1.004,98.46 and a maximum of €1.174,97. Additional conditions may also be imposed on tenants, such as applying for a housing permit.
Your (family) income determines whether you qualify for a medium- or low-income apartment. If your income is more than € 69,573 gross (including vacation allowance) per year, you do not qualify for a medium-sized apartment.
In addition, the free sector apartments will be more fully equipped. These include floor and wall finishes, larger kitchens and more built-in appliances.
Are there any registration costs?
We do not charge registration costs to be able to rent. Nor are there mediation costs or brokerage fees.
How can I register for an apartment?
To register you can create your personal online account through this website and start the rental process. Once your profile is created you can upload the documents in your online profile as soon the rental has started. Noting these documents will only be evaluated and taken into account if they are complete.
After you have completed the registration form and uploaded the required documents, the registration will be processed. Once your registration is processed and approved, a contract is drawn up. After you have signed the contract and paid the deposit, the landlord will co-sign the contract. Your rental contract is only final after co-signing by the landlord. As soon as the delivery date of your apartment is known you will receive the first invoice which includes the first period of rent and the deposit. Delivery of the apartment can only take place when the first invoice is paid no later than 3 days before.
Please note, reserving an apartment does NOT automatically mean that the registration is accepted and that FRIS reserves the right to reject any application.
Availability
If my preferred apartment is not available, how can I be notified when an apartment becomes available?
The apartments will be allocated in order of registration. If you register, we will keep you informed of new available apartments through our newsletters. Please note that new apartments may become available every day, so please check the website regularly.
